Iwo Jima should be the next map for the Pacific

Iwo Jima was one of the most important battles of World War II and truly deserves its representation in the game. Apart from that it would be a perfect map for BR 4/5 teams and in addition to that it would be a good landing map since currently the Pacific for some reason does not have any landing map, with the exception of Rio Tenaru.

If it’s not iwo jima the next map of the Pacific, I hope it’s at least Okinawa or saipan. With new georgia we already had enough with the maps of the solomon islands.

Another thing that wouldn’t hurt for the Pacific War is to decorate the surroundings of the 3 islands with American warships like on D-Day because it seriously looks like the Americans emerged from the water haha

I disagree with it you. Next Japanese campaign should be against Soviets.

But I am not saying I don’t want battle of iwo jima in future. I just believe Soviets vs Japanese should be prioritized. Soviets would definitely benefit from another campaign. Compared to the US, which has 4 campaigns, the Soviets have only 3.

I would certainly like more maps for the Pacific, but maybe not Iwo Jima. Unless the devs rework it creatively. I mean, look at this…

It’s famous in America maybe, but one of the most important of WW2?
100k US soldiers vs 20k Japanese?

That’s like every other week skirmish on the eastern front.

Let’s try, have you heard of Battle of Smolensk?
450k axis vs 880k soviets.
Kharkov?
350k axis vs 760k soviets.

The list goes on.

And from purely gameplay pov, Khalkhin gol for BR 1-2 USSR vs Japan (definitely not BR3) would be refreshing

Iwo Jima as a visual black sand concept is cool though, enjoyed it in BFV.

Yes, but I’m talking about the Pacific front, not the Soviet East. I agree that a map of the USSR against Japan is needed and that map is Manchuria, but I am not talking about a campaign, but rather a map for an already existing campaign

So the most correct thing is to say that the next map of Japan (in general) is Manchuria. I also say that Iwo Jima (or another map) should be next on the PACIFIC FRONT.

Obviously, Japan against the USSR is not part of the Pacific War. And obviously the next campaign should be Manchuria and at least the Sino-Japanese war

I believe Pacific should be splitted into different campaigns in future. (For option to restrict 42/43 maps to low BR and 44/45 maps to high BR and so)
Currently, we already have battle of new guinea and battle of Guadalcanal. But unlike any other campaigns, they’re merged into one big theater called Pacific.

Problem is; japanese were fighting in caves not on the ground

Nope, it will be Papa New Guinea, Peleliu, and then Iwo Jima.

*they came from the caves

They did a fair amount of fighting in their trenches and pillboxes, but the Corsairs couldn’t spawn kill them due to coming from the tunnels

I highly support this, this also opens a way for the soviets to get the IS-3 and late tanks for japan.

China has very few unique weapons and wouldn’t make sense as a faction. Besides that, it could be a poor use of resources as it would likely not make it to the Chinese client of the game.

If the Iwo Jima map is added, I really hope they make the map size significantly larger.

Now that APCs are available to all sides, there is no reason the maps should continue to be so small.

The Sino-Japanese War will leave the Chinese people with broken hearts everywhere
The extremist groups among them will not accept any failure of China or the Communist Party
In their eyes, a picture with squinting eyes is an insult.
They will use various methods to discredit and destroy the game

Not sure how much Chinese people account for in Snail’s total revenue
But it shouldn’t be too little?

Secondly
Weapons of the Sino-Japanese War
China almost always takes money from other countries
And those vehicles that may not have very good performance
Not sure if anyone wants to play in such an environment for a long time
